when all were seated there was quiet, but
this was only temporary and lasted only
long enough to enable the people to locate
one another Then there was the life of
recognition and of gossip. and it gradu-
ated rapidly into q noisy hum.
This was startling to person who
entered suddenly, considering the place
rnd who were buried there. but the
stranger was soon fascinated and himself
added to what had struck him as desecra-
tion. Busy and interested as were the
people making the irreverent Congrega-
tion, some perSonages entered the Abbey
strong enough to compel general atten-
tion and recognition. When the Marquis
of Sails bury, the Queens Prime Minister.
entered and proceeded to the place set
apart for him, he was cheered. When
Mr. Gladstone was observed quietly
ed dging his way to his seat he was also
cheered.
Such was the eagernesS of those who
had assured places in the audience at
Westminster to be on hand that scores of
lords and ladies repaired to the edifice at
unnecessarily early hours and, as many
OF them admitted, without having par
taken of any breakfast. 1t was strange
sight to see TASKS and sandwiches ex-
changed in such q crowd and eagerly used
by numberless arlstocrats, unable Ions ger
to withstand hunger and thirst. This
business, when added to the hum, at
times seemed irreverent, even ON Jubilee
Day. in W estminster.

the base of Nelson monument. In addi.
ton to the military, many thousands OF
police, both mounted and on foot, were on
duty under the command of Sir Charles
Warren. The military force was under
the command of General Gipps and
Colonel Stirling of the Coldstream
Guards.
The particular feature at Buckingham
Palace was that the two services were
equally honored, tho guards lining one
side Of he roadway at Bucki CHAM Pal
ace gates, and on the other side the Blue
Jackets were posted. The same services
were also represented in a like manner a

minor German princes.
Punctually at 11:l5 a. m. the Queen, ir
an open carriage, emerged from the
palace gates. At sight of her thousands
of voices were lifted up in cheers, the ap
